Chapter 153 – Darkness

 

Evil Ghost Luo first came to this location filled with confidence and a composed mind.

While he was aware that he is not the strongest, Evil Ghost never thought about things going wrong, and even if it did, he could easily escape, just like how it goes every time.

He had a firm belief that everything will go his way. This confidence stemmed from knowing about the usefulness of his skill and the experiences that he had been through.

What’s the worst that could happen? Running and hiding was his greatest strength, as long as he is careful enough, nothing would be in his way.

Doing it like this, one day, Evil Ghost Luo believed that he would be able to walk on the streets without anyone bothering him.

If he is powerful enough, no one will dare to pick a fight with him, and the thought of offending him would never cross their minds.

His survival is the most important. As long as he is alive, his strong ability and potential will do all the work for him. He only needs to consume souls.

Evil Ghost Luo could already imagine the day when everyone would hear of his name, and along with it, they would feel fear.

Never did it came up in his mind to be the strongest since the possibility of that happening with only his skill, was close to impossible.

However, for him, being a powerhouse was more than enough. Once he was considered a true powerhouse, he would be free to do whatever he wants; others could only make way for him.

This time, despite everything that happened to him, from being unfortunate to him being at the wrong place, Evil Ghost Luo still manage to survive and surpass all the misfortunes that came his way.

And that was the most important.

Still, it doesn’t seem like everything he did was enough. Was he a fool pretending to be clever all along? Or was he just too unlucky? Evil Ghost Luo would never know.

Surrounded by bright purple lightning, Evil Ghost Luo had nothing else to utter except to scream from the intense pain rushing through his entire ghost body.

His head couldn’t entirely process what was going on. Pain filled everything of him, and he couldn’t do anything to stop it.

Evil Ghost Luo didn’t even have one moment to think about what was it that forced him to move back when the wall he was planning to escape to was only a meter away.

And it looks like he will never have the chance to.

This never-ending assault was destroying him, his mind, and his body. All he hoped was for this to end.

Not once in his entire life did it ever occurred to him how would he feel when he was about to die. But now, there’s no need for him to think about it.

Anger, despair, and helplessness uncontrollably flooded his mind. Evil Ghost Luo didn’t want it; he never felt like this before.

However, the reality was forcing him to understand it. He would disappear. His body was becoming too damaged to survive this.

Suddenly, a lone thought formed in his mind.

Was this what his instincts were warning him about? Is it possible that this man he kept calling his prey was more of a threat to his life than the approaching force?

His mind reached an immediate realization, but he didn’t want to accept it. This can’t be real. It isn’t possible.

Pain filled his entire being, and before he could update his reality, everything went black.

From this night on, Evil Ghost Luo just became another name that people would forget as time passed.

Max breathed a sigh of relief, seeing the ghost turning into smoke before it got blew away by the nightly breeze.

But he quickly collected himself. This wasn’t the right time to relax. Someone was still approaching his location.

Although Max might still be able to escape unscathed with all his available skills and items even when the person arrives, he wasn’t that unconcerned about his life to test it out.

There were also merits on not exposing any information about himself, so he had to escape after removing traces that can be connected to his identity.

Looking around his surroundings, the sight of destroyed walls and debris littered all over was shown, but this was not something he should worry about.

Hurriedly moving, Max only took the fallen vessel of the ghost and stored it in his Inventory. Right after that, he left the location.

Max transformed into a small bird and flew away. His journey only lasted for a few moments before he reached home.

The first thing he did was to notify Yu’er about the news. Yu’er only knew that he would be going back late and not the approaching trouble.

“It’s fine. It won’t be easy for them to find us here. In the first place, I don’t believe that Awakened was coming for you.”

Yu’er calmly responded as if it never was a threat for her, before adding,

“Maybe it was someone that ghost offended, and it somehow was able to locate him and planned to deal with him.”

“Also, even though it was only a Rank 2 Awakened, the Special Affairs Department would not surely sit by it, so they must have expected its arrival, or they were on their way to check what was happening.”

“It’s a good thing that you left before any of them arrived and catch sight of you. Well, nothing bad was going to happen, but them not having any clue about you would give them a harder time, which was always good.”

“To be honest, I don’t think it matters that much honestly. They know my identity as an Awakened, so we should expect that they did some investigations about you too.”

“Since it was a long time ago, then they probably ended up finding nothing about you in the past, so, in the near future, they should be scratching their heads if they ever doubted you.”

Max had the same thought a while back. He knows that it would only take time before his actions would attract suspicions, and the only thing he needed to avoid was exposing his skill.

Anyone can have their own guesses, but he will never confirm it. True or false, in the end, it will not be affecting him in any way.

Max opened his mouth to speak,

“When do you think they would get in contact with me? Do you think they already know?”

“I have no idea. It depends on how free they are.”

“Just always keep in mind that they have always respected strength, so as long as you are powerful, you would earn their respects, and they would be wary of offending you.”

“They might even offer you a lot of good stuff to be on your good side.”

“But don’t be too close to outsiders like them and expose your skill, always keep them guessing. Well, since you have the Time Stop, then guessing should be the only thing they can do.”

“If they did contact you, then you can give me a call.”

“It’s been a long time since I appeared anyways. Surely they have not forgotten about me.”

Chapter 152 – Too Many Skills

 

Max turned towards the distant sky in surprise. Something was coming, something powerful. He could sense it.

What is it? He never felt something like this before. This power should be several times stronger than his.

Just as he was asking himself, Max suddenly thought about something he heard about before,

“Could it be-!”

[Max! There’s a Rank 2 coming towards us!]

 

Little Dou swiftly flew to his side to inform him about the approaching Awakened as she looked up towards a certain direction.

“Rank 2! This isn’t good.”

“We can’t be seen by someone like that for now. We have to go. I still have one remaining Time Stop I can use to get away from here.”

Max seemed to forget about the ghost that he was fighting against just now as he thought about how he could run far away from this place.

His mind was calm, knowing that in the worst case, he still has the Time Stop and other useful items from the Store.

This wasn’t the time to ask about why there was a Rank 2 approaching his location; the only thing on his mind was to hide for now and ask questions later.

[Wait! You might not need to use that! This person shouldn’t be too far from us, but it’s traveling very slowly!]

 

[Also, you don’t need to worry too much! The pressure you are feeling is definitely not their real power! They should be artificially amplifying their pressure only to scare you!]

 

Hearing this, Max became calmer. It’s a good thing for him if this person isn’t truly as strong as what he had sensed since he felt that he would have no chance of defeating this individual if they were to engage in a battle.

A moment ago, he was shocked to find how powerful Rank 2 Awakeneds are. The force he could feel went beyond his imagination.

Pressuring someone from far away wasn’t easy to do. Even he might only be able to do it against regular people, and they would also have to be in a close distance.

“How much time do we have before this person arrive?”

[Hmm, around a few minutes? The pressure came from the sky, which meant this person should have the ability to fly!]

 

[But I don’t really know why this person’s speed was too slow. Maybe he doesn’t know how to fly like me? If I didn’t sense his real energy in the pressure, I would think he’s much stronger than Rank 2!]

 

Little Dou voiced out her confusion as she flew around to show how fast she could fly.

Regardless, their initial alarm had disappeared. When this Rank 2 Awakened arrives, they would probably be long gone anyway.

Max was lucky to have someone like Little Dou that could help him with circumstances like this. However, someone else wasn’t so fortunate.

Evil Ghost Luo uncontrollably shook when he felt the familiar presence.

It was that person again!

Until now, he could still feel the burn he received that inflicted severe injuries on his soul. The power of it was deeply imprinted in his mind, filling him with fear.

The thought of this figure, making its way towards him, was enough for him to put all his focus solely on escaping.

This proved that what he was feeling the whole time about the incoming danger was right all along.

However, Evil Ghost Luo also expressed his doubts about this strange presence. Why is it moving slower than before?

Could it be they were underestimating him and thought he would be captured regardless?

With this thought, Evil Ghost Luo became enraged. How dare they treat him like this? Do they think he was someone they could push around?

But this wasn’t all that bad for him. He could take advantage of this; he had to be composed.

Evil Ghost Luo quietly thought about his next course of action. From his estimates, this figure should still take some time before he arrives.

Running away now and running away a bit later would make no difference since it seemed like his escape is also guaranteed this time.

If he escaped now, he would get away with nothing. But if he stays for a little longer, he might get something.

Evil Ghost Luo turned towards his target. His expression then mysteriously changed as if he came to a conclusion.

Maybe he should stay for now, as long as he gets a hold of this Awakened’s soul, everything would be worthwhile.

Max felt someone staring at him. When he turned his head, he saw the ghost eyeing him with its aggressive eyes.

It only took a short while before he understood why.

Since he was able to feel the intense pressure in the distance, then the ghost should have also felt it and made the same decision as him to get out of here as soon as possible.

However, just as he thought about that, the ghost suddenly lunged towards him. Max reactively got out of the way and did everything he could to separate himself away from it.

Although he could guess that his attacks might not deal any damage to this ghost’s current form, he had no idea about anything more than that.

How do ghosts attack, what does it plan to do with him, and why was it chasing him. Those were the things he did not know of.

For his safety, the only thought he had on his mind was to distance himself away. These creatures are too strange, and it was extremely uncomfortable to be around them.

Maybe since the ghost knew he was an Awakened, it was trying to possess him to use his body and at the same time, have access to his skills?

Various ideas came up in his head as he forced himself away from the ghost. He didn’t want to be hurt in any way.

Max also had another problem he had to think about seriously. How can he defeat this ghost? Is it really possible to kill it with his skills alone?

Having no other ways, there was only one way to find out. Max shot one streak of Purple Lightning as a test to the ghost trailing behind him.

“Ahhh!”

“What’s this?!”

Evil Ghost Luo was filled with excruciating pain. It was the most intense pain he had experienced, greater than the burn he previously got hit with.

His eyes were full of fear, pain, and confusion. What was that? He saw a purple light that went towards him, and soon after that, he suddenly found himself in extreme pain.

“I-Is this?”

Evil Ghost Luo couldn’t understand what was happening. Could this possibly be the attack that his life-saving item saved him from? But why didn’t he see any lights before?

“Ahh-!”

Once again, another streak of lightning hit Evil Ghost Luo, causing him to scream in pain.

Max’s eyes lit up with excitement. It looks like it was more effective than what he expected. The damage he was inflicting was apparent from the cries of the ghost.

Evil Ghost Luo was now in a state of panic. He could feel it. His soul had been severely hurt. If he doesn’t escape now, he would surely lose his life.

Never once did he think about not being able to escape since, with his speed and ability, Evil Ghost Luo was confident that no one could stop him as long as he is alive.

Without leaving a word, Evil Ghost Luo turned back to flee.

Max watched with slight curiosity as the ghost promptly shot itself towards the walls.

“Can ghosts really go through walls?”

“Trying to escape? Do you think I would let you?”

Showing a hint of a smile on his face, Max made a grabbing motion towards the air as if everything was under his control from the beginning.

If his Purple Lightning worked on the ghost, then this should also work.

Evil Ghost Luo, who almost reached the wall, instantly turned around and slowly moved towards the direction of Max.

Though the ghost only got a little closer with his slow movement, it was enough.

Pushing out his hand, continuous streaks of bright purple lightning streamed forth, connecting itself to the charmed ghost.

The Lust System: Chapter 151 (Unlocked)

Chapter 151 – The True Form Emerges 

 

Running. That was the only thing on Max’s mind.

Both of them seemed like they were fooling around; however, Max was certainly not; he was only running for his life. It was quite a shameful sight if other people were to see it, but he never once thought about it.

There is no shame about not wanting to receive a blow from this uncontrollable ghost. This guy was like a lunatic.

This man looked at him as if he was the most valuable treasure in the world and would do everything to get a hold of him.

Max had to evade against all the aggressive attacks he was dealing which don’t seem to have any reasons behind it.

On one corner, Little Dou, who had been intently watching them, couldn’t understand how did it suddenly go like this.

She was not worried about Max since she knew more than anyone that his body is quite sturdy. It could take a few direct hits from the ghost before it would be dangerous for him.

Though she can’t speak about how much that would hurt for Max. Right now, she was only enjoying the sight of them running around.

From her observations, their strengths were quite close to each other; both were at the peak of Rank 1.

One disparity from what she could see was Max didn’t have much battle experience, and the ghost looked to be extremely skilled in combat.

Even though the ghost was rampaging around, his attacks were skillful, disregarding the fact that he seemed to not care about himself.

However, in Max’s own way, he was managing quite nicely. Fortunately, the ghost was purely using his arms to attack.

And Little Dou was aware that Max was still holding back a lot of his capabilities and planned to use it all on the ghost’s real body instead of his stolen body.

If Max truly felt threatened, he could easily activate his Time Stop to get out of the dangerous situation and finish the battle straight away.

Preferably, if he had a choice, Max would rather not use his remaining Time Stop since it was one of his life-saving ability and there is only one remaining use left.

His other skills were saved for this ghost’s original form since he was aware that those could be his only way to defeat it so Max can only rely on his dagger to finish this man off.

What he didn’t know was his opponent, Evil Ghost Luo, was also holding back. This could not be said to be his true fighting strength.

His real power comes from the gloomy aura of his actual body, which could give everyone in his surroundings various kinds of dark emotions.

If anyone had a weak mental resistance such as ordinary people, they would lose their minds.

While Evil Ghost Luo could do that, he didn’t want to risk it because he wasn’t confident whether it would be effective against this Awakened, and also, he wanted to protect his life.

This body he was occupying has multiple uses for him. Not only it can be used to attack others which his original form couldn’t do, but it can also act as a form of armor.

A disposable body is one extra life that can save him from death. He would be a fool not to make use of this advantage.

After running and dodging away for quite some time, Max wondered if he could do something about this situation.

He noticed that this man seemed to be willing to sacrifice his body to get him. It was not a worthy trade, and the only thing he could do was to dodge his assault.

Max had to think of a way to deal with him. Surely there has to be something he could do.

Ultimately, even a Peak Phase Awakened like them will be exhausted. After a while, Max could sense that the man was slowing down.

Since Max wasn’t the one on the offense and was only focusing on dodging his blows, he was still fine, unlike the man who was already struggling to keep up with his speed.

Initially, the man was faster than him, but since he was also fiercely attacking, they were about the same.

Now, with him slowing down, Max became slightly more agile in his movements, and it was enough to change the pace of their battle.

With a burst of power, Max evaded his palm attack before swiftly slashing his dagger towards his neck.

His attack was too fast that ordinary eyes would not be able to see it. However, Evil Ghost Luo was not an average person.

Seeing the unexpected counterattack, he hurriedly jumped away, but since it was too sudden, he was a little late, causing the dagger to graze him, giving him a long gash on his chest.

“Ugh!”

Evil Ghost Luo winced in the agonizing pain he was not expecting. The intense pain adding up with the pain from his previous injuries made him freeze for a second.

Max’s attack was filled with power that his ordinary body couldn’t defend against it.

Evil Ghost Luo can use his body for attacking using his energy to strengthen it. However, his energy has no defensive capabilities.

That also goes with his ghost form. It can only attack and evade, that was the cost of his powerful skill.

Evil Ghost Luo was inwardly shocked about this progression. How was this possible? He was being beaten in speed, something he prided himself in.

Not that his target was faster than him, it was only them almost having the same speed which he couldn’t believe.

But something more surprising followed, he got hit. This was something he never thought about before coming here.

Evil Ghost Luo was starting to feel pressured from the unpredictability of this Awakened before him.

At the same time, the feeling of danger was getting stronger and stronger.

With conflicting emotions, Evil Ghost Luo made a quick decision to end the battle this instant and escape if he couldn’t.

Nothing was more important than his life, and he wouldn’t risk losing everything for a chance to achieve a breakthrough.

As long as he is alive, he could find plenty of opportunities somewhere else.

Max didn’t let go of the split second the man froze and dashed towards him at high speed. He slashed the hand, protecting his chest with his full power.

“Ahh!”

A piercing cry was heard from the man’s mouth. Evil Ghost Luo can never get used to this much pain; he couldn’t bear every second of it.

Max’s eyes were focused on his every movement, not giving him a chance to move away.

After one slash came another, this time, it went straight towards his unguarded neck.

“You!”

Soon after, the body fell and completely stopped moving. But before he could rejoice, a white figure slowly seeped out of it.

What was displayed in front of Max was a faint figure of a man, staring at him with fury.

The temperature suddenly dropped as if he was doused with cold water. Max figured that this was the true form of the ghost.

Max could feel the potent gloomy energy coming from him that seemed to paint the world grey. It was filled with negative emotions, giving him a sense of unease.

Before Max could open his mouth, all of a sudden, he could feel something with an oppressive pressure on the horizon approaching his location.

The Lust System: Chapter 150 (Unlocked)

Chapter 150 – Approaching Guests

 

Chief Li, along with Jing Fei, reached this school where Evil Ghost Luo should be hiding at.

After so long, their people had finally found a clue about his whereabouts. It took quite some time for them to be able to get a lead, but no one could be blamed since it was a difficult feat to search for any signs of him.

The city is vast, and it would take time for them to search the entire area without missing anything.

However, this morning, news came about Evil Ghost Luo’s supposed location. The report only mentioned this place and not his exact position, but it was enough.

Throughout the day, they made their preparations before moving out as soon as everything was ready.

“Chief Li, where are we going to begin?”

Jing Fei looked at the vast empty school grounds. There were several buildings, including some dormitories for the faculties and students.

The elite personnel they had in total were limited in numbers. They couldn’t afford to split up them up in groups.

It will also put their few days of coordination plans to waste if they would have to separately move to different areas.

A message from the higher-ups was sent to notify them of a Rank 2 assisting their group to deal with Evil Ghost Luo. However, they mentioned that the individual was going to move on his own.

Now they could only think of a way to properly go through this. Chief Li only thought for a second before responding,

“We will go through everything, starting from the first building to the last. The expert assisting us was said to have been dealing with ghosts for a few years now, so we only need to be prepared in supporting him.”

“With his skill, he should have some hidden cards to quickly locate this Evil Ghost Luo. That was why this person was moving by himself.”

“Our people will be in charge of surrounding the area to prevent Evil Ghost Luo from escaping once again.”

“Bear in mind that this is a school, we have to finish this as fast as we can. Also, we couldn’t afford to damage the buildings, or this will be another problem for us to deal with.”

“Fortunately, we have someone who could use set up a barrier to prevent the sounds of battle happening inside to be heard by people living nearby.”

Before setting out, Chief Li repeatedly warn their people to be discreet since this was a densely populated area, and they don’t want to cause an uproar.

Evil Ghost Luo has the upper hand this time as they had to make as little damage as they could, thus needing to retrain themselves, considerably weakening their fighting power.

Chief Li didn’t know whether this was something that Evil Ghost Luo had thought about and planned for by hiding in here, but it was working.

“Remember, the last thing we want is to let him escape. If he gets away again, then we would have a harder time to locate him since he should be close to fully healing from his injuries by now.”

“We have to keep a lookout for the signal the Rank 2 master would send us and move towards his direction right away.”

“This operation has to be over before the sun rises, or else we would have to retreat, and his escape would be assured once more.”

Jing Fei nodded in understanding. They had been preparing for this mission for a few days now, and it was starting to be a bother, limiting them from accomplishing their other tasks.

He knew that they could not fail this time.

Chief Li couldn’t help but think how bothersome this problem is, having been troubling his mind for a while now before adding,

“If we had a few more reinforcements, the probability of us succeeding this mission would be much greater. However, other cities were also busy dealing with the same problems, and they couldn’t send out a few people this time.”

“I have some contacts that should be staying around this area, but they had to go somewhere else and weren’t here currently.”

“There were also the others that were hard to reach, and even if I did ask them for assistance, they probably couldn’t be bothered by it.”

“Forget about it. We could be needed at any time, so we need to be alert. Notify our people to start searching the vicinity before going through each building.”

“Also, don’t lose the bell, that’s the only one we have. If it got destroyed, we wouldn’t have any more ways of finding him.”

The bell Chief Li was talking about was an item that was lent to them to be able to locate where Evil Ghost Luo is.

It could sense traces of ghost energy from the surroundings and would ring out once it was at a certain distance of it.

This item was the only one they had, and if they lost it, there would be no chance for them to distinguish Evil Ghost Luo from ordinary people.

Jing Fei followed Chief Li’s instructions as he spoke through his communication device.

Now, everything was up to whether they would successfully locate the position of Evil Ghost Luo.

…

Though not in his intention, the rooftop was in ruins with heavily damaged walls and floors.

However, Max couldn’t care less considering his present situation. Evil Ghost Luo was currently chasing him while simultaneously striking out several palms, and only one of those was enough to put his internal organs into a mess.

Unknowingly, Evil Ghost Luo became more and more violent as time passed. Max felt like this man didn’t care about himself and wanted to risk it all against him though he had no clue why.

Only Evil Ghost Luo knew the reason. He could feel it; his senses were warning him of danger.

In the beginning, it was faint, but it was still there, so he felt pressured and decided to attack his prey without waiting for a few more days.

Now, it wasn’t even close to being faint. His senses were almost screaming at him, warning him about a threat to his life.

Evil Ghost Luo thought that those from the Special Affairs Department might have already found his location and were on their way here.

He got away last time because of their unpreparedness, not knowing how to deal with him properly, but now, that would certainly not be the case.

There was also that powerful individual who assisted them in the end. He would be a fool not to expect it to happen again.

He had to break the barrier past Rank 1 and finally get to Rank 2. That was the only way.

Not only he would completely heal his injuries, but he would also unlock another skill that could potentially make him strong enough to destroy those people who wanted to take his life.

One thing was certain, once he reaches Rank 2, the possibility of him escaping this city and the powerful figures on his back will significantly increase.

Evil Ghost Luo eyed his prey, who was using his speed to dodge all his attacks. This couldn’t continue any longer.

With a shout, he leaped towards Max, giving it his all.

No matter what, even if he had to sacrifice this body of his, Evil Ghost Luo would catch him and consume his soul to finally breakthrough.

Max, on the other hand, had no idea about this. He was only doing everything he could to run away from this rampaging man, hoping he would slow down soon or, better yet, exhaust his energy.

Chapter 149 – Clash

 

The wall where Max was on had a clear vision of the only entrance towards the rooftop. Nothing would escape from his eyes if anyone were to go through it.

Little Dou was also hovering over, curiously looking whether someone would come.

While waiting, Max thought back to the previous incident where he wasn’t able to kill the ghost’s body.

The damage he dealt vanished like it was erased. It was quite similar to Yu’er’s Reverse Time, except it was instant, faster than his eyes could blink. It was unbelievable.

Max didn’t think it was a skill since it was instantaneous, and he doesn’t believe someone could use their skill right after the time resumes knowing they would die. No one could react that fast.

It seemed more like Max triggered one of his life-saving cards. Perhaps it came from a protective item or a perk of being possessed by a ghost.

But it doesn’t seem like it can be used constantly. Though Max still considered the probability of it happening.

Secondly, since the ghost came out unharmed, Max had to think about whether he exposed himself being an Awakened.

Max thought for a moment and concluded that he should at least expect the ghost to be aware of it. There should be an indicator of some sort that notified him of his escape from death.

However, he was confident that his skill was not exposed since the time had stopped for everyone.

If Max were in his situation, he would only be filled with confusion. There was no way for him to observe what happened. Visually, he would merely see a series of flashing movements.

An unknown amount of time had passed, and the man still hasn’t shown up.

This ghost was taking so long. Maybe he wasn’t able to find them and went somewhere else? Then if so, they can go home!

Just as Max was thinking about this, someone interrupted him and pulled him out of his thoughts.

[He’s here!]

 

Little Dou flew back, urgently notifying him about the incoming enemy.

Max immediately became alert. He already had several plans in his mind. The only thing he had to do was to wait and see which would be the most suitable.

…

Evil Ghost Luo got to the top floor after wandering around the building to find any signs of his prey.

Being a security guard for a few days let him become familiar with the establishment, so it wasn’t hard for him to roam the area.

After finishing all the places he could come up with, Evil Ghost Luo turned to his final destination.

This time, he had a feeling that his prey would be there.

When Evil Ghost Luo got to the rooftop, there was nothing to be seen. However, his eyes mysteriously glowed.

Max kept his eyes on this man that was standing near the entrance as if he was a statue. Inside, Max was starting to believe he had this man fooled.

This ghost took a long time to reach here, and now he was only staying still. Can he even locate him? Would he give up?

Max continued to stay in his position. This ghost giving up was what he precisely wanted.

This would be the ideal development. When the ghost finally gives up and takes off, Max would secretly trail after him to wherever lair he hides in.

Afterwards, he would then decide how to deal with him.

Without warning, the man suddenly dashed towards his direction before punching out with an energy empowered fist.

Max could feel the ferocity of his attack from where he was hiding. Not wanting to receive the blow, he dodged away, in turn, revealing himself.

The ground vibrated once the fist came in contact with the wall, cracks formed all over it. Luckily, Max evaded it, or else it would have hurt quite badly.

Since he already revealed himself, slowly, his form returned to his original appearance.

Max grew more vigilant, but he also couldn’t hide his astonishment. This ghost somehow had a skill that could detect him.

He doesn’t have a clue how that could be possible. Facing this seemingly skilled opponent, Max decided to take this seriously.

Truthfully, it was quite simple. Evil Ghost Luo was a ghost. Ghosts like him suck souls out of humans and consume it.

Having the ability to suck souls would also mean that they have a way to detect it.

This was also how Evil Ghost Luo ended up targetting Max. He could detect a unique soul from him that appeared to be more appealing compared to others.

Even though Evil Ghost Luo didn’t see anyone on the spot where he detected a soul, he still fully believed someone was there.

Used to surviving on his own, Evil Ghost Luo had heard about different kinds of treasures. An item that provides invisibility wasn’t unheard of; that was why he never found it odd.

Evil Ghost Luo had already sensed him right as he got into the rooftop. The only reason he was standing still near the entrance was because of him being wary of an ambush.

From what he sensed, his prey was only a few seconds away from him. He could easily reach him, but his cautious side prevented him from making a move straight away.

He expected some reinforcements supporting behind his target since there was no way his prey would hide so close to him. Evil Ghost Luo was convinced that this must be a trap.

When he initiated an attack to get a feel of the situation, hitting the area where the soul was, his prey finally revealed himself.

Max faced the man who had a look of amusement on his face. Taking out his dagger, Max returned his stare as if challenging him.

This could be said to be his first true battle; a rush of excitement was flowing through his body.

In the meantime, he would not use his skills. Max wanted to test out his combat ability first.

With this, he kicked the ground to charge forward.

The only thing he had to be careful of was the original form of the ghost. As long as the ghost itself doesn’t come out, he could do whatever he wants.

Max slashed him directly on his neck. Although he didn’t plan to use his skill, it doesn’t mean he would play around.

His attack was targeted to kill his body and force him to come out. Max had some basic knowledge relating to him, such as physical attacks won’t be able to touch ghosts.

For that reason, he wanted to purely use his combat ability to defeat his body, and once his true form emerges, Max would then use his skills to finish it.

His attack got evaded by a simple backward movement, and before he could deliver another, a swift palm filled with force shot out. Max quickly leaped away to avoid it.

That was close. It almost hit him.

This man seemed to be only using his body to attack, and the energy in his attacks was also quite strange.

His weird energy was dangerously powerful. Max couldn’t understand how he was doing it. He only knows that he would not want to be hit by that.

Once again, tightly gripping the dagger with his hand, Max went in for another attack. He made use of his agile body to slowly overpower his opponent.

Both of them continued to exchange attacks. Max had already inflicted a few scratches all over his opponent’s body, but no one showed any signs of slowing down.

Outside the closed school gate this late at night, two individuals can be seen speaking to each other as they guardedly made their way inside.

Chapter 148 – Only Have to Wait

 

While Max bolted up, he took out a mask from his Inventory and put it on as a precaution.

If someone else were to spot them, he didn’t want to further expose his identity. And with the mask on, Max would feel more comfortable using his skills incase he was forced to.

This mask was different from the one Max had on him when he was running around the city as the Shadow Thief.

Max would rather not have his real identity be associated with the Shadow Thief. Even if it hasn’t gained any fame yet but soon it inevitably will, and he didn’t want trouble coming after him for being connected with it.

Before he was able to ask, Little Dou landed on his head and quickly told him what she saw,

[It’s a ghost! You should be careful!]

 

“Ghost? That white silhouette was a ghost?”

Max wasn’t able to take a closer look at it since his eyes were looking at the unbelievable sight of its body being undamaged, and right after that, they had to back away.

The ghost only fully manifested when they were already running away, but Little Dou could easily recognize it, thus saving them that crucial second where it would have gotten in contact with Max.

The last thing Max saw was the white figure slowly becoming larger.

…

Evil Ghost Luo was filled with surprise, watching his target suddenly turn his back and run.

Usually, his target will be in a permanent state of unrest with his ghost energy corrupting their minds, filling them with terror.

Once that happens, they won’t be able to do anything, and he would happily harvest their souls to slowly consume it.

It always gave him the feeling of being in control of their lives. It was such an addicting feeling.

However, to his miscalculation, his current target unexpectedly broke out and took off swiftly that even he couldn’t chase after them.

If he could, he would have run after them right away, but it was too risky.

Evil Ghost Luo was in his soul form, and he didn’t want to leave his body here and take off without it.

His soul was injured, and he couldn’t afford to risk his already severely injured ghost body to what he guessed should be a fellow Awakened.

That could solely be the reason why his prey got away. If he were an ordinary person, he wouldn’t have been able to get away from his control.

An Awakened.

This was his first time trying to hunt one. It should be fun. This was just right. If he uses an Awakened to breakthrough to the next rank, then that would be an achievement he could take pride in.

“So it will be you then. You should be grateful that you will become the final sacrifice for my breakthrough to Rank 2.”

His body then moved as his lips curled up with a sinister expression on his face.

“Hmm?”

On the ground, he saw a familiar necklace that seemed to be damaged. When he took a closer look at it, his expression warped into fury.

“You have truly angered me now. This is the worst mistake you could ever make. Once I catch you, I will make you regret living up to this day.”

In his hand, was a cracked necklace. This was the most valuable treasure in his possession. Evil Ghost Luo had to complete a few months worth of missions from the Ghost Hall to get this item.

This accessory can save his life from a fatal attack once and gets broken after being used with no chance of it ever working again.

If he wanted one more of those, he had to work for a couple of months once again, and he didn’t have that kind of free time right now.

He was unfortunate that his item broke at the worse time possible. He was already at the barrier of his breakthrough, and this item could come in handy when he is in the midst of breaking through.

After all, this was another life. Even though it won’t work with his ghost form, his disposable body could still be saved from death once.

Evil Ghost Luo could breakthrough in this body while it was wearing the life-saving accessory. It would be as if he had two extra life.

But now it was gone. And the worst was he didn’t know how it got destroyed. This thought filled him with rage.

His soul was in excruciating pain from being attacked by a powerful Awakened, and he couldn’t get out of the city since there were a lot of those people from the Special Affairs Department searching for him day and night.

Now, he also lost his life-saving treasure. Evil Ghost Luo was shaking with fury. His anger was pointed to his prey, who was the one responsible for his hard-earned item being wasted.

At the same time, he resented the Special Affairs Department for putting him in this situation.

Evil Ghost Luo had a cautious personality, but he was forced to make his move earlier than his initial plan.

That was because he could feel that those people from the Special Affairs Department were narrowing their search to his location. Though he didn’t have anything to base it on, Evil Ghost Luo trusted his instincts more than everyone.

He felt the need to breakthrough tonight, or else he would have some trouble hiding from all of them.

With his soul being injured, Evil Ghost Luo wasn’t confident about surviving a few direct hits of Elemental Attacks.

It was only a matter of time before his malicious ghost energy would be detected by one of their people. Evil Ghost Luo was sure of it.

He wasn’t those old ghosts that could perfectly mask their energy and pretend to be an ordinary person.

His abilities weren’t that powerful, yet so he was bound to be located if he stays here for long.

There should be no room for error this time. He will breakthrough this day and leave the city untouched.

Evil Ghost Luo thought as he made his way up to where Max was, his eyes shining in a haunting light.

…

Max and Little Dou reached the rooftop where they decided they would confront this unknown ghost.

In this place, there would be more room for them to move around against this dangerous enemy.

They don’t know anything about this ghost or why it chose to attack them, but the same could be said to their opponent, who doesn’t know anything about them, so it was only down to who was stronger.

Max found a spot to hide and observe if the ghost was going to be able to find them, but then he suddenly thought of something else he could do.

As he leaned on the white wall, slowly, Max started to blend in, though not to the point of invisibility, he only made the white wall thicker as he disappeared.

The usefulness of the Shapeshifting Skill in situations like this was convenient.

With this, he only had to wait. Max slightly smiled, wondering whether he would make the ghost look like a fool.
